I recently attended a spiritual retreat at Sanctuary and it was beautiful. They have many retreats as well as single day meditation workshops throughout the year. I attended a 5 day retreat but they have shorter weekend retreats as well as longer week long sessions. For me the five day was wonderful but I would have loved a seven day for just a bit more time to sink into the beauty and transformation (just means I'll have to come back!). They are an all-inclusive set up so once you pay for your retreat--it includes room, retreat sessions, all your meals, and full access to the grounds of Sanctuary. And, let me tell you--the grounds are stunning. There are trails that you can take through gorgeous wooded areas, a river runs through the grounds, and a gravel road with grazing sheep and cows in full view. You'll be in awe at every turn. When I was there, daffodils were growing wild and free throughout the grounds, everything was abundant green, and I observed so much beautiful wildlife (a high point was watching a blue heron fly along the river). The retreat sessions were wonderful, ranging from beautiful discussions to activities. The meals were all organic and delicious. My mom and I stayed in one of their rooms in the main house with two twin beds and an en suite bathroom. The room was large and we were quite comfortable throughout our stay. It was one of the more peaceful experiences of my life. Highly recommend! read more
